Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that has no physical form. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of Bitcoin assets, they are generally stored in wallets. Usually Bitcoin wallets store users’ own Bitcoin information, including Bitcoin addresses, private keys, etc. Therefore, users themselves attach great importance to the security of Bitcoin wallets, especially since the exchange has experienced some thefts before, which makes it even more frustrating. Are users worried that their Bitcoin wallets will be stolen? Judging from the current information, there is a certain possibility of being stolen.
